THE PRESENT TIME.

Voices that call upon us from the past
strengthen our hearts and daily cheer us on
Anoble legacy, which long shall last,
is our Inheritance of deeds well done.
But Hope looks forward with brighter face
Than Memory's. Forgetting days gone by,
1t sets its foot to run better race
Than any mortal yet has dared to try;
1t sees more glories than have yet been won,
1t hears strong voices, urging men to rise
And look no more on what is past and gone,
But, with their faces lifted to the skies,
To live like heroes, so that men shall say,
Wife never had such meaning as to-day

AT&1O,OOO DOG GONE.
Death of the Largest and Heaviest Canine
in the Country.

The great St. Bernard dog, Merchant
Prince which was owned by John N. Moore,
of Melrose, Mass, the well-known kennel
man, died Monday night, after sickness of
two or three days. Merchant Prince is said
to have been the largest and heaviest dog in
the country, If not in the world, his weight
being 800 pounds. He was imported in 1886
by Mr.. Moore, and since then has taken over
twenty first-class prizes, and last year took
the first prize in the Boston kennel show.
Before being brought here his owner had
been awarded fifteen first-class prizes at the
various exhibitions throughout Europe dur
ing the past year Mr.. Moore is said to have
been offered $1,000 for him, but refused to
part with him. The dog was a great fayorite
among the neighbers on account of his affec-
tionate disposition and remarkable intelli-
generalization Special

Representatives of the various councils of
Olive Branch and Goddess of Liberty coun-
ellis of the Daughters of Liberty assembled
last evening at the residence of w. o. Sta
Piles, No. 175 Bradley street, for the purpose
of reminding him that 1t was his forty -second

growth than any other man in New Haven.
The house was speedily overlooked with
friends, while the tables looked as if they
might have been loaded up for Dedication
day in June.
Although the family were completely sur
prised, the lady of the house was assisted in
entertaining the visitors by her accomplished
niece, Miss Flora Hurlbert of West Cornwall,
who had mysteriously arrived few hours
before. While the festivities were at their
height Capt. VIM. Ct. Dickinson stepped to
the front and presented Mr.. Staples with
beautiful and costly gold-headed cane, a pres

Civil War In the Tonga.

SAN Francisco, CAY , March 20-The
steamer Alameda ,srrived from Sydney
yesterday and reports that an attempt
had been made to assassinatethe Premier
of the Tonga Island, Rev. Shirley Baker,
his son and daughter. On the evening OF
January Is while out driving several men,
white and natives, fired upon them,
wounding the latter. Several hundred
native warriors attempted tplYnoh the
suspected parties, but were Gissusaed by
Baker. The trouble was owing TO relig-
ious quarrels between The different sects.
Baker charges the adherents OF Meulton,
one of the missionaries, with melting q
civil war. Great excitement prevailed st
last accounts and Baker WAS barricaded
in the Kings palace. Moulton denies in
citing hostilities and complains of the
oppression exercised by his opponent on
the island.

what is known as the drouth district did
it not state that such calamities are in
frequent in that section.
Drouths probably occur there at as
long intervals as in any other part of the
state or of the country.
The main reason why the people of
that portion of the state are suffering
so severely is that such q calamity was
unexpected and the people were largely
new settlers, living on school lands and
having spent what they brought with
them from older portions of the country
in improving their farms, hence they
were unable TO purchase their supplies,
when their means of subsistence were
exhausted.
II can scarcely be charged to either
the fault of the people or the defects OF
the country and climate that the drouth
has been so disastrous in its results.
Such misfOrtunes are common in other
states, but there the people have q surplus
and are thus able to endure the hardshipS.
The committee can bear testimony to
the sterling character Of the people in
the counties visited.
When necessity began to pinch severely,
for the most part the thriftless and Idle

where living was easier. Those who
have remained are mainly farmers whose
all is invested in their farms. With de-
termination and heroism rarely tqualed,
they have chung to their homes. They
mean to remain in the country, and it is
to the advantage of the state to have
them remain.
The committee are profoundly con-
WINGED that the appropriation by the
state was necessary and can testify TO the
grateful acceptance of the donation by
those whose condition has forced them
to take advantage of the public bounty.
The 100000 appropriated by the state,
small as it may sem compared with the
number of the destitute, has proved to be
an invaluable boon to many industrious
citiz, rs, who, ia the absence of its pro-
visions, would probably have been COM
PEELED to leave their homes and return to
the older states from whence they came,
thus depriVlng Texas of an honest yeo-
manry, who will be it's strength in con-
tributing to its revenues, and its bulwark
should their services ever be required.
While exaggerated reports have gone
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1887-03-21

forth to the detriment of the state, the
truth is bad enough, and further damage
to the states reputation surely cannot &C
crue from praIsewOIthy effort to relieve
its own citizens.
Up to the present, but little rain has
fallen in the drouth stricken counties.
The prospect for farmers is gloomy.
Whether further action for their relief
should be taken, it is not the province of
the committee to say.
The committee believe that what has
been expended was good investment.
II those assisted are able to remain in the
country, it will not be maLy years before
they will repay in revenues to the state
what 1t has generously bestowed on them.
The committee greatly regret that the
Legislature did not see tit to grant them
time to perfect their work. This report
could have been made more elaborate
and valuable had there been time to prop
erly prepare it, but the committee re-
NAMED in the drOuth region to the last
moment, in order to secure all the data
possible. They have been as careful
as practicable. If they have done
their work imperfeCtly it should be re-
membered that they were allowed only
forty days in which to investigate thirty
seven counties, covering more territory
than the whole of New England.
The committee desire to acknowledge
with thanks the Iiberality of the railroads
ing granting the free transportation of
supplies for the drouth sufferers, as well
as to express gratitude to the press for
It's able assistance, and especially TO the
Fort Worth GAZETTE and Dallas News
